[Bent] Lots of time to ride

[Carole & Dick Ludwig]

Rich

Been in your position twice.
The last time I had to start my own business in order to get a job.
My only advice is to take a very proactive stance.
The Internet while a very useful tool pales in comparison to personal 
contacts and networking.
Most jobs are gotten by knowing someone.
Work all your business contacts, no matter how remote or unlikely 
relentlessly.
Create a one page Resume - look on the net for how to create a powerful one.
All the resume does, if you are lucky is get you an interview.
It's the interview that gets you the job.
These days if you get past the first interview it leads to a second, then a 
third one.
The positive, can do, confident attitude  is what gets the job.
Develop a plan and start ASAP.
Give me a call if you want to discuss further.
